Hoarse

Huckabee blows McCain out of the water in the reddest of red states: Kansas. Friar Huck gets 60% of the vote and McCain-Kennedy got less than 30%. How? He got 72% of the 'religious' vote.

By the way, have you noticed that in all of those "big wins" for McCain he only got about 35% of the total vote? Seldom over 40%. Now that it's "down to two" - it is forbidden to acknowledge Ron Paul - McCain may find that about 35% of the vote is his ceiling in bright red states. He could be losing all across the Southern Baptist south and southwest (Texas!).

But McCain will continue to do well in states that are a lock for the Democrats in November.

Does it seem like the fat lady is hoarse?

Great post and good point. I think that outside of the blue states McCain is going to have a hard time winning. That being said, unless Huck can win by large margins in each McCain can't be stopped. Frustration all around. Wish Rommney dropped out before super tuesday :(

Btw, suprised McCain picked up some of Ron Paul's economic team. Do you think that it will continue to happen now that the race is winding down?
